A couple of shots of big blue coming up off the beach. Drove down around the sand dunes and back - approx 5 mile loop and she pulls effortlessly.  

Some of you may recognize her...

I'm sure I've seen this truck in an early film.....'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'

Great truck and great photo's.

These G's on the beach are great viewing....

Norfolk has 100's miles on beaches.

Hi Axel,

Great news to hear the second 'transplant' worked out. I did see some recent post activity and wondered.

Re: Blue coming off the beach

I know its much improved on the W463 but I would be having a look for any salty sand behind the rear left light assembly.

Something I do after a beach run and part of the de-salting routine.

Also I give it a good spray of lanolin.

 

Love beach driving.  Fraser Island is close by where you can drive up one end of the island to the other (120km)
